Due to the recent increase in fuel prices, Pakistan Railways (PR) have announced higher tariffs. The ministry increased prices by 8% as of yesterday. Except for Green Line, all trains and classes are subject to the increased pricing.
According to a PR spokesperson, the department is now spending more than Rs. 10 million per day on fuel as a result of the recent spike in diesel prices. The government has raised petrol costs as a result, he continued.
Last week, Pakistan’s Finance Minister Ishaq Dar announced a Rs. 35 per litre rise in the cost of gasoline and diesel, which would take effect on January 29. The increase was due, according to the minister, to an 11% rise in the cost of petroleum products on the world market.
